Live comments

  • 0' - It’s Showtime! The match between Japan and Costa Rica is underway.
  • 5' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Youstin Salas, as he is very good at scoring at Ahmed bin Ali Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 10' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 15' - It looks surprising Costa Rica does not make any changes. Takumi Minamino has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 20' - Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Japan needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 25' - Japan is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 30' - Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 35' - While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Costa Rica winning 100% of all matches.
  • 40' - Yuto Nagatomo has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 41' - It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Anthony Contreras.
  • 42' - Anthony Contreras was booked on 42.
  • 44' - It’s a booking for Japan player. Miki Yamane gets a Yellow card.
  • 46' - The supporters are chanting for Takuma Asano. He replaces Ayase Ueda on 46 minute.
  • 51' - The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Jewison Bennette suffering a number of foals already.
  • 56' - It looks like no one’s ball. Costa Rica is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 61' - It’s a booking for Costa Rica player. Celso Borges gets a Yellow card.
  • 62' - Celso Borges was booked on 62.
  • 62' - Time for substitution for Japan. Miki Yamane is replaced by Kaoru Mitoma.
  • 65' - Costa Rica manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Brandon Aguilera is hanging Gerson Torres on the field on 65 minute.
  • 67' - Time for substitution for Japan. Ritsu Doan is replaced by Junya Ito.
  • 70' - The referee calls foul for Francisco Calvo. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 71' - Costa Rica player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 76' - The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Japan that had 79 games and scored 18 goals.
  • 81' - What a strike from Keysher Fuller! The score is 0-1.
  • 82' - Takumi Minamino has so much to prove this time. He replaces Yuki Soma on 82 minute.
  • 84' - Ko Itakura is having his name booked by the referee on 84.
